"The D7000's Live View is certainly quite functional as a basic means of framing for stills and video shooting, as long as you understand its limitations"
dpreview.com | talking about the D7000's video-quality
"The D7000 is very similar to the D90. This makes it an easy upgrade for D90 users that want a more 'serious' camera, but don't have the inclination to relearn a whole new ergonomics."
